Versailles

Born strategist, mischievous manipulator, Louis will use every resource at his disposal to keep the Noblesse on a short leash, while feeling bitter resentment in his private life, even paranoia. The man is also capable of romantic passion. But how...

"Philippe returns to Versailles a war hero. Louis holds a celebration, while losing confidence in Fabian due to the constant highway robberies that are impeding the funding of his palace. Cassel refuses to attend the celebration."

"Louis experiences hallucinations. The Chevalier is arrested. Montcourt continues the robberies in order to fund the conspirators plot against the King. Some of the nobles want Philippe to take Louis's place as king."

"Henriette suffers a miscarriage, but Louis wants her to visit her brother in England for an alliance against the Dutch. The Chevalier, destined for the gallows, is freed. Montcourt foils an assassination just to be reinstated."

"Montespan gives birth. Sophie is ordered to marry Cassel. Marie-Th\u00c3\u00a9r\u00c3\u00a8se grows jealous of Louis's mistress. Philippe must be seen bedding Princess Palatine, much to the Chevaliers jealousy."

"Madeleine de Foix is arrested as the poisoner after trying to kill Fabien. Montespans baby suffers an illness. Louis faces criticism from Bossuet and Pascal. Sophie endures a terrifying experience when married to Cassel."

"A delegation arrives, but won't negotiate with the queen. Phillipe steps up to act as king while Louis is at battle. Fabien mourns Claudine and seeks to avenge her murder. The king's mistress takes her jealousy too far."

"Louis has Phillipe get close to the spy. This ignites the Chevalier's jealousy. Fabien learns what Father Etienne does with the children he rescues. Montespan is desperate to reclaim the king's love, but Louis falls for someone more pious."
